The Jennifer Allwood Show

So many business owners are not progressing because instead of implementing they are waiting for things to be perfect. Perfectionism is a great way to limit your future and potential and, eventually, will kill your business. I see entrepreneurs waiting until something is perfect before they move forward as a crutch. It is how they justify not putting what they have to offer out into the world. This week I want you to really examine your motives and I hope to encourage you to move past perfectionism.

This morning I want to encourage you with a word about your most important work, your first mission field, your biggest accomplishment—your kids and family! The world tells us to put ourselves first and focus on what we want, but God says that order matters and that we are to put first things first. It should be God, family, and then business. Take a few minutes to listen to this episode and then pray about what you are putting first in your daily life. 

As I look at my exercise journey, I have found some really big connections to my business progress. I see how when I am disciplined in areas of my life like exercise, I am more disciplined in my business. I also know that because God has called me to do big, scary things physically like compete in a triathlon, I can now do big, scary things in my business like have my own conference! I hope you are encouraged and excited about the possibilities for your health and business as you listen to this episode!

The world is fascinated by superpowers and the supernatural. As believers, we have access to the best superpower of all - JESUS!!! Today I am talking about ways to tap into that power and give you motivation to seek Jesus in all areas of your life!

One of my goals as a human is to help women move forward in life and grow their businesses. One thing I know to be true is that so often there is just one piece of the puzzle holding us back from the next step. AND getting that puzzle piece can often times unlock a whole new level. My hope is that answering your questions will help you get over the hump and on to the next level. This week I am discussing everything from LinkedIn to email open rates to turning a ministry into a business so push play!!!

This week I want to encourage you to really think about what you are asking God to do in your life and business AND if you are open to letting Him do it. I love the Prayer of Jabez and have prayed it for many years. In the prayer, we ask for God to "enlarge our territory." However, as entrepreneurs who are used to getting to decide what we want to do and when, we need to realize that God is still the boss of us. He gets to decide when and how to enlarge our territory because He is our BOSS!!!  

Last year I gave you 8 reasons why I really don’t like free Facebook groups. BUT a few months ago, I listened to the advice of others and gave one a try when we I launched my Creators’ Roadmap course. Now I am back to report how it went and if I have changed my mind. Spoiler alert: Not really! I did get lots of insight and am excited to share what I learned about when to have a group, what to expect, and some tips you can use if you start one!

Worship is all about Jesus. When you take the focus off yourself and put it on Jesus, it changes you, all those around you, and the whole atmosphere. Turn off the world and use worship to get your priorities in order for you and your business!

In this Monday Fire episode, I want to talk with you about James 3:10, "Out of the same month comes blessing and cursing and that ought not be." You shouldn't curse the very thing that you hope will be a blessing in your business, i.e. Facebook, IG, Pinterest...hello algorithm! Listen to this short episode to hear what you should so instead!

I have talked about this before, but because of some recent changes in a health and wellness direct sales company, I wanted to talk about it again. MLMs can be amazing for your business, BUT I always still want you to be in control!  Here is a quick bonus episode about some things to make sure you are doing if direct sales is part of your business plan. 

Business failure is not always a fun topic, but there is sooooo much to learn when we have a business idea that doesn't work out. I have been there and I know that God uses failures to teach us, to motivate us, and to shift us. So if you have had a business idea fail, first know that you did not fail, the idea failed. Separate yourself from the failure. Then pick yourself up and get back to it. I hope this episode is exactly want some of you need to hear today!

If you are thinking about hosting a conference or any kind of live event or even if this is a far-in-the-future goal, settle in and get ready to take some notes! In the time since I hosted my first conference just a few weeks ago, I have done a lot of reflecting and processing. In doing so, I came up with 5 things everyone should know before launching an event. My hope is that knowing these 5 things will help you in your planning and execution so even your very first event can be a huge success!
